      I have a feeling he’s going to stay in the seat even if Danny Ricciardo heals up.

      I disagree. I think they give both a somewhat equal number of races and then see who finished better.

      DR will almost certainly be in the seat next year. He’s too important for their advertising, and that’s what matters in the end.

      Lawson brings very little to the table outside of being quick. It really sucks for him, but I really don’t see him with a seat next year

      If Lawson replaces someone at AT it’d be Tsunoda. Honda partnering with Aston Martin means they’re not going to keep someone just because they’re brought by Honda. And DR is like the golden PR boy, they need him when they rebrand to Hugo Boss.

          Looked it up, and apparently they recently stated they have an even bigger title sponsor coming. I still think that DR is automatically in if he wants to be in.

            Sad that Ricciardo is now somebody who is being considered for his commercial contributions rather than his sporting ones

              While true, I do hope he can get back to the top so he can combine his great personality with some more wins.
